What the Press is Saying About Debut Album 'Summers On Neptune'
"While the work of Buckley and Foote is nothing short of stellar, Presti's bass lines are as skillfully laid down as anybody's and Mannella flawlessly provides the rhythm and backbone of Free Henry!'s ambiance. Each quarter of this group brings a communicable enthusiasm to their work, and 'Summers On Neptune' exemplifies their collective contagion. "Beware of the Dog" and "Too Much Too Soon" are among the groovier and juicier tunes on Neptune." ~Joe Anello, College News Magazine
